The gravitational lensing effect at higher order under weak-field approximation is believed to be important to distinguish black holes and other compact objects such as wormholes. The deflection angle of a generic wormhole is difficult to solve analytically; thus approximation methods are implemented. In this paper, we investigate the weak-field deflection angle of a specific wormhole, the Ellis-Bronnikov wormhole, up to the 1/b^4 order. We use different approximation formalisms, study their precision at 1/b^4 order by a comparison to a purely numerical result, and finally rank these formalisms by their accuracy. Moreover, we find that certain formalisms are sensitive to the choice of coordinate system; thus it is important to choose the coordinate system appropriately for the evaluating of lensing physics.

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In an Ellis-Bronnikov wormhole, EFT corrections to photon propagation modify the strong-deflection lensing coefficients in a polarization-dependent way, with a Ricci-curvature coupling contributing that vanishes for S...

  2. Gravitational Lensing in a Kasner Background: Distinguishing Wormholes and Black Holes

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a Kasner (anisotropic) universe, wormhole and black-hole lenses produce different directional splits of the Einstein-like scale, while the full critical curves remain nearly circular.
